“Report!” Another flustered sect member presented himself at the entrance of the study room “Sect master, we have found traces of Lord Twelve’s clothes in the vicinity of the Wolf Valley It’s stained with blood”
“What?!” Mei Chaofeng rose to his feet and slaitation
Pluht before hi pulled up his pants and walked briskly to the doorway He snatched the tattered and bloodied fabric from the hands of the sect member and examined it closely He could just about make out the word ‘Twelve’ es to Twelve!”
“The culprit ht now!” Pluer and moved to rush out of the room
“Nonsense! No matter hoeak and useless that fellow is, he’s still the son-in-law of the Chu clan in na hilared at Plum Blossoet done in by that piece of trash?”
At these words, Pluained his coht of this son-in-law of theirs, if he were to execute Zu An publicly, they would still exact vengeance in order to uphold the reputation and honor of the Chu clan
And the Chu clan’s vengeance wouldn’t just stop at Plum Blossom Thirteen It would fall upon the entire Plum Blossom Sect as well
That was the reason why Plum Blossom Twelve had initially lured Zu An out to the suburbs and tied hi It had been a perfect plan Who could have expected Zu An would be lucky enough to survive that ordeal?
A sudden thought struck Plum Blossom Thirteen “Godfather, could it be possible that Zu An has been feigning weakness all this while? It doesn’t make sense why the First Miss of the Chu clan would be interested in useless trash like hi brushed it aside with a wave of his hand “Impossible I have insider inforh As for why the First Miss of the Chu clan chose hi is complicated and can’t be explained concisely”

“But earlier today, I saw hiether with someone in the acade and told hiazebo earlier on
“You did well While Shang Liuyu isn’t known for her cultivation, she has the academatic one, so it’s best not to cross her if possible” Mei Chaofeng pondered for ahis head “However, based on her personality, it’s unlikely that she would get involved in such a matter”
“If his protector isn’t froned a guard to protect him?” Plum Blossom Thirteen asked
“It’s a waste of resources to protect useless trash” Mei Chaofeng snorted dismissively “But that cannot be ruled out It’s possible The Chu clan assigned someone to protect him in secret I’ll need to consult the client about this Before I do, we have toour wits, not brute force”
Plum Blossom Thirteen’s lips curved in a sinister sht that this was useless, but it seems this could play a crucial role in our mission I’ve already issued him an ultimatum If he doesn’t fork out the money within three days, even the Jade E off his hands!”
Mei Chaofeng’s roomed with my own hands You did well! The Chu clan has strict rules that forbid any of their clan tian wouldn’t stand up for that useless son-in-law for aoccurring behind his back, Zu An finally arrived at the Yu clan’s villa, having asked a few passers-by for directions

“Is Second Master Jian in?” Zu An enquired as he approached the guards by the entrance

Zu An tossed a piece of silver over It was part of what he’d looted frouard’s expression softened upon receiving the silver piece, and he favored Zu An with a slight smile He leaned in closer and replied, “The Second Old Master is out at the hed in relief It was clear to him that there was internal strife within the Yu clan, and Second Master Jian appeared to be on bad ter Yu Yanluo had actually foiled Second Master Jian’s plan? If so, he could be walking right into a trap
It was paramount to know if Second Master Jian was in, and Zu An was relieved to learn that he was not To the guard, he said, “I wish to uard was amused “There are plenty of men in the world ish to h”
Instead of wasting his words on the guard, Zu An took out the jade token he had obtained fronize this? I am a friend of your Madam Relay my presence to her, and I’e ‘Yu’ word inscribed on the jade token, the guard’s eyes widened in astonishuest! Milord, how should I address you?”
